Read it again.

OK, proven - you don't.

Actually I think I understand it all too well. Unlike many Roman Catholic adherents 'round these parts.

What "church" is that?

I am a paedobaptistic, covenantal, confessor of the ecumenical creeds in the Scottish Reformed tradition of the Christian church.

Okay now you are just putting words together....(J/K)

[terycarl]

I am amazed that this would surprise anybody....some of the “charges were 20-30 years old.....very sad as to how low people will stoop for s few bucks.....have a good time in Hell!!

[Gamecock]

But they are big words that say a lot! ;-)

[verga]

Seriously I had to read that three times just to get a handle on the adjective order. For a minute it reminded me of the old Monty Python skit with the Viking

[Gamecock]

You think reading it was hard, try writing it.

[Religion Moderator]

The sentence began specifically speaking of ‘the commenter’ so the use of the pronoun “their” is irrelevant.

[Religion Moderator]

Do not make comparisons of Freeper belief groups to Nazis, Hitler, Fundamental Islamicists and other violent groups. The only possible result is a flame war.

And when you are on the receiving end of a comparison like that, let me know by Freepmail - picking at the scab on thread also can only result in a flame war.

Besides, the corollary to Godwin's law (once a discussion goes long enough a Nazi comparison is inevitable) is that the one raising the comparison has nothing left to argue. In other words, the debate is over, declare yourself winner and leave.

[redleghunter]

I understand. I will find a better way to express displeasure over groups defending child abusers.

[narses]

No one here is “defending child abusers”.

[redleghunter]

Good.

Have you been in a parish or Catholic school which has faced clergy sex abuse of minors?

[verga]

You mean it didn’t just roll of your tongue in that delightful melodious fashion? I am shocked ..... Shocked I tell you.

[Gamecock]

Nah. But I did amuse myself cobbling it together.

[CynicalBear]

Huh? I must have missed something.

[redleghunter]

Don’t worry happens sometimes. I was called to the principal’s office over a comparison. Happens sometimes. Even in Catholic HS I got used to being called on the carpet for interrogation by the dean of discipline whenever there was a mishap in the chemistry lab. Apparently I had a reputation of time delayed ‘effects’ (harmless) which attribution was given to me, but never substantiated:) I am still not talking.

AHhhh...

Thanks.

I thought I smelled brimstone as I drove past their locations!

You'd better watch out now!!!

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!"

"Why shouldn't I?" he said.

 

I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"

He said, "Like what?"

 

I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"

He said, "Religious."

 

I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"

He said, "Christian."

 

I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

He said, "Protestant."

 

I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

He said, "Baptist!"

 

I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of GOD or Baptist Church of the Lord?"

He said, "Baptist Church of GOD!"

 

I said, "Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of GOD, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of GOD?"

He said,"Reformed Baptist Church of GOD!"

 

I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of GOD, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of GOD, reformation of 1915?"

He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of GOD, reformation of 1915!"

 

I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.
